Remove Sediment & Grit From Your Well Water
Catch the sand and silt a well pulls up, before it wears out your pump, fixtures, and other systems.
Why this matters
Wells draw water straight from the ground, so they pull up sand, silt, and grit, especially as the well ages or the water table drops. That grit wears out pump components and fixtures, clogs aerators and valves, and fouls softeners, filters, and RO systems downstream. A sediment filter is the first line of defense.
Signs you might have this problem
- Sandy or gritty particles in the tub, sink, or kettle
- Cloudy or murky water, worse after heavy use
- Clogged aerators, weak shower heads, and sticking valves
- Faster wear on the pump and appliances

Bluetooth Backwashing Sediment Filter
A well pulls up sand and silt that clog fixtures and wear out the pump and every system after it. A self-cleaning backwashing sediment filter captures that grit at the main line and rinses itself, so heavy well sediment never becomes constant cartridge changes.
Our recommendation
Bluetooth Backwashing Sediment Filter
Based on your well water and the sediment it carries, this is the system we recommend for your home.
Why we recommend it
- Captures sand, silt, and grit right after the pressure tank
- Protects the pump, softener, iron filter, and RO downstream
- Self-cleaning, so heavy well sediment does not mean constant cartridge swaps
- App-monitored backwashing on an automatic schedule
- Sized to match your household flow and demand
Complete your water system
This handles a different job than sediment removal. If you also want a housing that adds a carbon stage for taste and odor alongside finer particulate filtration, the Dual-Stage Whole Home Filter combines both in one unit.
360 Dual-Stage Whole Home Filter
Installation & maintenance
Installs at the main line as the first stage, ahead of any softener, iron filter, or RO system, so it protects them from grit. Cartridge models need a new cartridge every few months depending on how much sediment the well carries. The backwashing model rinses itself and needs no cartridges, which pays off on sandy wells. Professional installation available in Austin and surrounding areas.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the sediment filter go on a well system?
First, right after the pressure tank, before the softener, iron filter, and RO. It shields everything downstream from grit.
My well carries a lot of sand, cartridge or self-cleaning?
Choose the self-cleaning backwashing filter. Heavy sand clogs cartridges fast, so a system that rinses itself saves constant changes.
Will a sediment filter fix cloudy water?
It removes the grit and particulate that cause most cloudiness. Cloudiness from iron, tannin, or air needs the matching treatment.
